North Korea: Trump is 'begging for nuclear war'

China is North Korea's only significant ally, but it has grown increasingly frustrated over the North's nuclear and missile tests that have brought a threat of war and chaos to China's northeastern border.

An intercontinental ballistic missile that North Korea said could reach the "whole" mainland of the United States likely broke up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, a U.S. official said Saturday.

The two countries are set to begin their largest ever co-operative air exercise - dubbed Vigilant Ace - on Monday, with 230 aircraft, including F-22 Raptor stealth jet fighters, ready to take flight.

South Korea's military believes that the latest missile, which flew 950 kilometers before splashing down in waters near Japan, is potentially capable of striking targets as far as 13,000 kilometers, which would put Washington within reach.

Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday urged the Pentagon to start moving U.S. military dependents, such as spouses and children, out of South Korea, saying conflict with North Korea is getting close.

Graham's remarks echoed those of McMaster, who told a security forum in Washington on Saturday that the potential for war with North Korea "is increasing every day".

Last week, North Korea shattered 2½ months of relative quiet by firing off an intercontinental ballistic missile that some observers say showed the reclusive country's ability to strike the U.S. East Coast.

The nose section of the missile appeared to be blunter than previous versions, which might suggest progress in developing a re-entry vehicle, Bermudez said.

About 28,500 US troops are stationed in South Korea to deter potential aggression from the North.

North Korea reacted angrily on Sunday to the air manoeuvres, accusing the US and South Korea of a "grave military provocation" that will "push the already acute situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of nuclear war".

It's a unsafe world and as you look around and see there are a ton of hot spots, this next question is politically sensitive but you said everything was open when we started this thing, does an event like the indictment, foreign policy or national security impact, in other words, do foreign allies get rattled by it, do adversaries get rattled by it, does it somehow constrain the Trump administration foreign policy?. "We're in a race to be able to solve this problem". The United States has 28,500 troops in South Korea as a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War.

North Korea has repeatedly rejected accusations of human rights abuses and blames sanctions for a dire humanitarian situation.
